About This Grant
Project Summary The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) is requesting funds to purchase a BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorter with Biosafety Cabinet with the overall goal of bringing state-of-the-art spectral imaging analysis and sorting to UNMC and nearby research institutions, and of enhancing cutting-edge biomedical research being conducted in the State of Nebraska. The FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter provides high-dimensional, spectral analysis and 6-way sorting using 5 lasers and 78 fluorescent detectors allowing for the use of expanded antibody panels compared to current instrumentation. The FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter also provides real-time computed images from up to 6 detectors on the blue laser, allowing analysis and sorting based on cell morphology, intracellular co-localization, internalization or phagocytosis of fluorescent particles, polarization, and cell cycle. The FACSDiscover S8 will replace two highly used cell sorters that have reached the end of their life cycle and will allow continued and enhanced support for a wide range of biomedical projects spanning a variety of disciplines including infectious disease, cancer, immunology, neurological and cognitive diseases, and drug development, including the 33 NIH-funded projects described in this application. In addition, as the only spectral imaging cell sorter within a 3-hour drive of Omaha, this instrument will provide additional capabilities to researchers at University of Nebraska- Lincoln, Creighton University, and Boys Town National Research Hospital. The FACSDiscover S8 will be housed in the UNMC Flow Cytometry Research Facility (FCRF). The director of the FCRF, Dr. Craig Semerad, PhD, and its two staff members, Ms. Victoria Smith and Holly Britton, who each have significant experience in flow cytometry analysis and sorting will provide expert technical support for the use of this instrument. Additional technical support from Dr. Ashok Mudgapalli, the Director of the UNMC Research Information Technology Office will ensure proper storage and archiving of user data. This proposal also enjoys strong institutional support from the Vice Chancellor of Research and the Director of the Buffett Cancer Center, who together will provide salary support and service agreement support for the FACSDiscover S8. The combination of strong user interest, diverse biomedical projects, technical expertise, administrative experience, and a solid long-term financial plan ensure the successful implementation, sustained support, and extensive use of the FACSDiscover S8 so that it will contribute to high-impact discoveries in biomedical research.
